Chapter 149
Westinghouse.

Fang Zhu took advantage of the situation and sat down, took off her shoes, put her feet under the quilt, and said with a smile: "I wear a lot, it's fine."

"Besides, I have nothing to do in winter, and I am idle at home. I can chat with you when I come here. I have someone to accompany me to relieve my loneliness."

Fang Zhu spoke softly and slowly, with the Wu Nong soft language of Jiangnan women, and it was like a singer singing in a low pitch, which was very pleasant to the ears.

Liu Ye'er smiled, and said, "Aunt Fang can come here often if you have nothing to do, we welcome you very much."

"Come here, Aunt Fang, try our newly fried melon seeds and this frozen pear, it's so sweet."

Liu Ye'er brought melon seeds and frozen pears from the top of the kang, and put them in front of Fang Zhu.

During these days, the sales of charcoal were very good, the pockets of several people also bulged, and the food at home also increased.

"Thank you Ye'er!"

Fang Zhu reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, held them in her hands, turned her head to look at the wooden trough under the window, and praised: "Fat Miao'er, Ye'er, you are so smart, you thought of a way to grow vegetables in the house in winter."

"The last time I came here, it wasn't so high. Now it's tall and tender, and it will definitely sell for a good price."

There are usually no vegetables in winter, only cabbage, potatoes, radishes, and dried vegetables. Green leafy vegetables like leeks are definitely rare.

"Aunt Fang praised it a lot. My third brother came up with this idea, and he also grows the vegetables."

Hearing Fang Zhu's compliment, Liu Ye'er was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained.

"Abacus is also smart." Fang Zhu smiled slightly.

In the countryside, every household can grow vegetables, but I have never heard of anyone who grows vegetables in winter. I have to admit that the brain of the compass is really good.

"I'll think about it some other day, and build a few wooden troughs at home to grow some vegetables."

Fang Zhu threw the knocked off melon seeds into the basket.

"Okay, Aunt Fang can also grow several kinds, unlike our small place where we can't grow anything else, so we can only grow some leeks."

Hearing that Fang Zhu wanted to grow vegetables, Liu Ye'er not only didn't panic, but actively gave suggestions.

Growing vegetables is so simple, anyone can do it, it can't be her family who can grow it and let others grow it!

"Don't worry, Aunt Fang is for her own use and won't steal your business."

Fang Zhu laughed jokingly.

Liu Ye'er pursed her lips: "What is Aunt Fang talking about? Yulin County is so big, what kind of use can the few leeks we grow be, I'm afraid it won't be enough for even one family."

Liu Ye'er did the math, and according to the scale they planted, the first harvest of leeks would weigh about forty to fifty catties.

Shopkeeper Li, Sun Lizheng, Wu's family, Lao Zhou's family, etc. all wanted to give some away. Except for these, there is not much left.

"By the way, Aunt Fang, you are well-informed, and you can help us with our staff. It is more reasonable to sell these leeks in winter."

Liu Ye'er and Fat Miao'er had never bought vegetables in winter, so they didn't know the market, so they could only ask Fang Zhu, a maid who had stayed in a wealthy family in Fucheng.

"I don't know much about this either." Fang Zhu frowned.

She had lived in Fucheng, but even a family like Tongpan had no green leafy vegetables to eat in winter.

Only when spring begins and the weather becomes slightly warmer can a batch be shipped from the south.

Even so, the price remains high.

"At least fifty cash. If it catches up with the Chinese New Year, someone will buy it even if it sells for one hundred cash." Fang Zhu pondered.

"what!"

"Fifty! One hundred!"

Liu Ye'er was shocked, her clear eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

She knew that the price of green leafy vegetables would definitely be high in winter, but she never thought that it would be so ridiculously high.

"What's this?"

Seeing her expression, Fang Zhu chuckled lightly.

"We have a lot of big families in Qingyang Town, who can afford these three melons and two dates."

"If you take it to the county, you might be able to sell it at a higher price."

A word to wake up the dreamer, Liu Ye'er realized instantly, and nodded: "Yes!"

Qingyang Town has a wharf, and there are a lot of merchant ships coming and going, which drives the town's business, and the people of Qingyang Town become richer.

Not to mention anything else, the Wang family alone received a reward of ten taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Li's boss, every time he sells charcoal in winter, there is an order of nine taels.

For them, spending a hundred or so yuan to buy a catty of vegetables is nothing but a drop in the bucket.

At this moment, Liu Ye'er vaguely understood the gap between rich and poor, and her vision and knowledge improved slightly.

"Ye'er, I think you're pretty good at needlework, let me teach you how to embroider."

Fang Zhu took the initiative to mention that she is good at needlework, and her embroidery skills are not bad. When she has nothing to do, she can make some pocket money by making an embroidered handkerchief and a purse.

"Trouble Aunt Fang!" Liu Ye'er thanked with a smile.

"No trouble."

Fang Zhu shook her head, turned her head to look at Fat Miao'er with snow-white cheeks, who was listening to them attentively, and said, "Little Fat Miao'er, do you want to learn embroidery with Aunt Fang?"

"do not want!"

Fat Miao'er's eyes were round and round, and she shook her head violently.

It's okay to ask her to dance with swords and swords, but to ask her to do show work... Let her be spared!
"OK then!"

Fang Zhu spread her hands, Fat Miao'er didn't want to learn, and she didn't force it.

Picking up the needle and thread that Liu Ye'er handed over, she patiently taught her.

An hour later, Fang Zhu rubbed her eyes.

"Let's stop here today, it's getting late, I'll go back first, and I'll teach you another day." Fang Zhu got up, got off the ground and put on her shoes.

"Aunt Fang, please stay and have a meal!" Fat Miao'er tried to persuade her to stay.

"No, I still have something to do today, another day." Fang Zhu waved his hand and was about to go out as he said.

Fat Miao'er quickly stopped him: "Aunt Fang, wait a moment, I'll cut some leeks and bring them back for you, try them out."

Cut leeks?
How could Fang Zhu agree!

He waved his hands again and again: "No, no, leeks are rare, you should keep them and sell them for money!"

"Hee hee! Leeks are not as important as Aunt Fang." Fat Miao'er showed her small white teeth on the first floor.

As a loyal cat.

As long as people treat her well, she will return double.

Zhou Laosan is, and so is Fang Zhu.

Even including the old Zhang family and the old Hu family.

While speaking, Fat Miao'er got off the kang and ran to the kitchen in a hurry.

I took a kitchen knife and cut off the leeks in the wooden trough, which weighed about two catties.

Fang Zhu shied away again and again, but she couldn't persuade the two of them, so she had to accept it.

Fat Miao'er found another torn padded jacket and handed it to Fang Zhu.

"Aunt Fang, it's cold outside. Frozen leeks will affect the taste. You wrap this padded jacket with you."

"Thank you, little fat meow, you really know a lot." Fang Zhu stretched out his hand and patted fat meow'er's head, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

I secretly thought in my heart.

Such a sensible child, how painful it is!
How could the old Zhou's family have the heart to drive her out, but fortunately, Zhou Laosan has a clear mind.

I really love Fat Meow.

only……

In Fang Zhu's eyes, a complex gloomy look flashed across her eyes, and soon she returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
